Hello Leonie, if your nut butter is too thick for your liking, you can blend in a little bit more and add (more)oil gradually to help smooth it out. Unflavored oils like safflower oil work especially well. Keep this addition as your very last step as it’s often unnecessary to add any oil in at all. I hope this information somehow helps ~ Ivory

Hello Kimberly. Yes, it is necessary to activate nuts as the substances which block nutrient absorption are disabled, whilst the other beneficial nutrients remain intact. You will end up with a delicious, nutritious snack that your body can easily digest and absorb!
